Yes, you see that right... it supports INTERNAL cuesheets now. Works with every format. Of course external cues also work (MUCH better than before)

No, i did not code it, i only provided the sample files and got Cirrus hooked to implement it

As I said its in git... You can build it manually or use the mpd-git package from AUR. No ./configure flags needed.

Ah, though it wasn't in the upstream git. Great, I know few people who will like this

Since those small features tend to be overseen, I write a little post about it, since quite a lot ppl asked for such functionality in mpd.

Well, this feature has been in mpd for a year, but no client made use of it.
Today ncmpcpp finally added support and is now the first client that can prioritize songs without any client-side hacks.

ncmpcpp-git with libmpdclient-git needed for now.

The way this is meant to work is this:
Priorities will only take effect in random mode (inserting songs after the current one was always possible)
So you can have a subset of songs in a static order, while the rest remains in random order.

Right now you have to add all your songs to the playlist first. There you mark the songs and hit ctrl+p
From there you can enter a value between 0 and 255, where 255 has highest priority.
